Known simply as Omar, has been one of the UK’s most celebrated British musicians for many years. He has nine albums to his credit, tours all around the world and an accumulated list of collaborators and supporters to die for – amongst them Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Common, Carleen Anderson, D’Angelo, Soul II Soul’s, Angie Stone, Courtney Pine, Kele LeRoc, and more.I spent my teenage years being highly influenced by this man's music, so to find myself interviewing him has really been a monumental thing for me.Have a listen to his influences, his musical start in life and people surrounding him, an of course his MBE and acting career. Truly humbled by the experience!enjoy:)

This is my first podcast and although Classical Music isnt my area of expertise, you could say that my musical journey started within the classical realm. I did this podcast because although I am fortunate enough to do 2 regular radio shows a month where I get pretty much a free reign to play whatever music I like, there some areas I just never get the chance to delve into.So this is that opportunity!
